A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Claudinei Pereira was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 97th minute. Chargeada's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.
